I had a baby!

As most of you know, on February 22nd I had a baby girl. She is totally consuming our lives, I cannot believe it is already the 26th! So far the two nights we have been home she has let us sleep in 3 hour intervals which is pretty good. I am sure this will not last, so we are thankful for those precious hours of sleep!

Labor was definately an experience I will not forget. I just have to say thanks to whoever invented the epidural!

Flanagan has been very good, at first he was kind of scared when she cried, but he is over that now. He is just very curious and like to sniff her. Overall he has behaved very well, and I am sure he will just love her when she is older.

BJ and I are in the process of getting a password protected blog together so we can post picutures without any crazies looking at our girl. We will keep you posted!

Baby Hanley is coming soon!

Tomorrow I will be going to the hospital to be induced! At my appointment yesterday the doctor felt that it would be best to induce labor since I am not making any progress. So this baby will be here soon! It seems so crazy that B.J. and I will be parents by the end of the week!

Today I slept in, cuddled with Flanagan (he's my first baby) and am going to repack my hospital bag just to make sure I have everything. I am nervous and excited, these 9 months have gone by so fast!

So Cold!

It is cold out! Currently it is 6 degrees, I think this is why baby girl does not want to come out. Yesterday my doctor appointment went well, her heartbeat is good and she is in position. I have started to dilate, but not much. I have appointments on Monday and Wednesday and the doctor said we might induce on Wednesday. This is totally fine with me, because I have been very uncomfortable the past few days. It just seems so crazy that she will be here in less than a week!

Still Waiting...

Today was my first day of maternity leave and it was nice to not have to go to work. I hope the baby comes soon because I am sure I will get bored in a week or so. It was awesome to sleep until 10:00am, of course as soon as the baby gets here that will never happen again! I was kind of productive today, I went to Target, did the dishes, and cleaned the guest bedroom. I don't think I am "nesting" but just finally getting around to cleaning up the house. This place is a mess.

I am at 39 Weeks, one week from my due date! I am of course huge, but I am feeling good. Just ready for this baby!!

My stomach looks ridiculous in this picture!

No baby yet

I had another doctor's appointment today and no more progress towards birth. Although the baby has dropped, I am not dilated. The doctor said that if I don't go into labor by the 23rd then we would induce. Hopefully she wants to come out before then. We are anxiously anticipating her arrival!

In other big life news, we are moving to Columbus! B.J. has accepted a new job with The Limited Brands (Bath & Body Works, Express, Victoria's Secret, The Limited) so in a few months we will be moving out of Dayton. This is not the ideal time to be changing jobs and moving to a different city, but the offer was too good to pass up. So there will be many crazy changes for the Hanley family in the next few months.

Tomorrow is my last day at work, then I start my maternity leave. I have all these plans for next week, cleaning, napping, who knows if I will get anything done. At least I will get some quality time with Flanagan before the baby comes.

Have a good weekend everyone!

It's Snowing!!!

It is snowing like crazy right now. The forcast says that Dayton could get 2-4 inches at least. I really hope I don't go into labor tonight!!

Baby Update

Everything with the pregnancy is going great, the baby has dropped so I don't have too much longer. The doctor changed my due date to the 19th which was my original due date before the ultrasound. My last day of work is Friday the 9th so hopefully I will have time to relax and do some stuff around the house before the baby comes. I am getting very excited to meet this baby!
